So I'm looking to change my DT Swiss 420SL wheels on my Stumpjumper, as they're literally made of chocolate.

I'm looking at the Crank Brothers Sage wheel set and there's a few retailers online with some attractive discounts on atm.

Can anyone confirm to me that these wheels will be compatible with my current set-up?

Spec of my wheel:
26" DT Swiss 420SL
6 bolt fit that lock the disc to the hub.
9 Speed Shimano XT M770 Cassette
Front Hub: Specialized Hi Lo disc, 28h CNC flange and disc mount, sealed cartridge bearing, 9mm DT RWS alloy QR
Rear Hub: DT Swiss custom for Specialized 370 with DT RWS QR, 32h

VS.

Spec of the CrankBros wheel:
• 26" Wheel
• Front hub shell - 2 sealed 17x28x7 Cartridge bearings
• Front axle length - 110mm wide, 20mm thru axle
• Rear hub shell - 2 sealed 25x37x7, 2 sealed 17x28x7 cartridge bearings
• Rear axle length - 150mm wide, 12mm thru axle

No, those are DH/freeride wheels and use through-axles as opposed to standard quick-releases, which is what you need.

Try having a look at Superstar Components for good but budget wheelsets.

Just say "No" to wk Bothers wheels! Tarty bks that have no place in any MTB. Expensive, poor quality, fragile, proprietary parts and stupid design. Avoid.
